The project is operated on the ground by our technical partner Camino Verde

3 seed centers produce over 100 native tree species annually, with a combined capacity of 200,000 seedlings a year.

Seedlings pass through several stages: germination beds, transfer to bags, and a gradual move to more light-exposed areas, since young plants are initially too sensitive to direct sunlight and their leaves can burn, similar to their natural shaded conditions in the forest. After roughly a year, depending on the species, they are planted on site

Agroforestry systems are designed with both spatial and temporal dynamics in mind: how trees grow together compatibly in space, and how different species enter or leave the system over time

Short-lived annuals such as maize and bananas are planted early on and later harvested or removed, with the resulting gaps replanted with new, longer-lived trees such as Brazil-nut

Shade-loving species like cacao and huasaí are planted later, under the established canopy of trees planted at the system's start

Collaboration with universities supports ongoing research

Livelihood creation through agroforestry activities, alongside extra income-generating activities

A distillation area produces essential oils from species such as rosewood, mandarin, copaiba, lima limon and cedron, generating additional income

Beekeeping with stingless bees provides both ecological and economic benefits, including honey production and multiple-purpose use

Employment for over 20 Amazonian staff and 2 community promotors

Empowering Indigenous women through paid internships in tree nursery management

Planting hundreds of Amazonian medicinal tree and plant species, enhancing local access to traditional remedies

Strong focus on education, including building an open-source knowledge base on native plant species to share more widely

Protecting and restoring the Amazon rainforest through active reforestation and forest conservation, with a direct impact area of 334 hectares

Over 400,000 trees planted, spanning more than 400 native species (including the reforestation activities)

Increased biodiversity, with beekeeping using stingless bees acting as natural pollinators, improving plant genetics through cross-pollination from other areas and helping create a more resilient forest.

Improved soil and water regulation, as diverse forest cover supports natural water retention and reduces erosion
